As Families.com is growing, we thought it would be fun for families to be able to find, network with and make friends with other families in their area. These families could talk about local issues, local events, local support groups, local politics and other issues specific to that location. These families could share reviews of restaurants, doctors, schools, politicians, parks and other businesses. We thought it would be nice to know which businesses and services other families liked and disliked. These families could provide reviews of local entertainment, culture and other attractions for other families who might take a vacation to that area. The families could have online garage sales or give away hand-me-down items to other families in the area who might be able to use them. These families could form local support groups, get together and go out to lunch (keeping safety issues in mind), or come together to support a local good cause.

This is our vision for the Families.com Local area. We encourage everyone to start off by introducing themselves on their local forum. Share whatever you feel comfortable and appropriate. What do you like to do for fun? Tell us about your family. Why do you come to Families.com? What kind of friends would you like to meet? What are your favorite things about the area where you live? What are your least favorite? Where is your absolute favorite place to eat? Help us start this local support and networking forum in your area.

Hi Everyone, I live in Central NJ with my husband, two teen daughters and 2 furry kids. I truly love NJ, sometimes the politician and ever increasing taxes anger me, but where else could you live and be an hour from everything?

Hey there! Brand new family here. Newlyweds in Morris county, with 1 furry kid (Bailey, in the pic) and who knows who else will join us when!

Thought this looked like a great site to get to know as we set up our home...looks like a lot of good info...hope to give good info and get good info too...

We're both born & raised in NJ...went "away" to school at Rutgers (me) and Seton Hall(hubby)....its truly a great state. We love it

And its fun to watch the Sopranos (even on A&E) and say....thats Willowbrook! Being from NJ has made me "cool" to others I have met while traveling...even as far away as Paris.

Hello to all the other Jersey families out there!
